The First Membership Building Challenge for 2007-2008

SMEDLEY AWARD
The Smedley Award commemorates the founding of Toastmasters International on October 22, 1924, by Dr. Ralph Smedley. One person initiated a program that would go on to affect millions of people.

In his honor, if your club can add five new, dual, or reinstated members between August 1 and September 30, you'll receive a Smedley Award ribbon to display on your club's banner. Your club will also earn a choice of one module from The Better Speaker Series, The Successful Club Series, or The Leadership Excellence Series. See page 3 of the Shaping Ourselves Flyer for more details about this award.
